11 Heckscher-Ohlin Model: Theorem Each country will export the good using intensively its abundant factor. Step 1: Comparative advantage is indirect. Differences in relative endowments between countries + Differences in relative factor intensities between goods Comparative advantage Step 2: Autarky prices reflect comparative advantage. Each country has a relatively low price for the good using intensively its abundant factor. Step 3: Free trade prices must lie between the two autarky prices. In free trade, each country exports the good using intensively its abundant factor. Yiqing Xie (Fudan University) Int l Trade - H-O July, / 33

33 Heckscher-Ohlin Model: A Formal Approach Income Distribution Effect of Trade Autarky: the scarcity of one factor make the good using that factor intensively expensive. Trade makes that good cheaper, leads the country to produce less of that good and more of the good which does not use that factor intensively. This is going to lower the demand for the scarce factor, and this will drive down its price in equilibrium. The reverse argument can be made about the abundant factor.

Trade makes that good cheaper, leads the country to produce less of that good and more of the good which does not use that factor intensively. This is going to lower the demand for the scarce factor, and this will drive down its price in equilibrium. The reverse argument can be made about the abundant factor.

35 Factor-Price-Equalization Theorem (FPE) Assumptions: Both countries have identical CRS technologies. Trade is completely costless so that goods price are equalized. Both countries produce both goods in free-trade equilibrium. Yiqing Xie (Fudan University) Int l Trade - H-O July, / 33
36 Factor-Price-Equalization Theorem (FPE) Assumptions: Both countries have identical CRS technologies. Trade is completely costless so that goods price are equalized. Both countries produce both goods in free-trade equilibrium. The Factor-Price-Equalization Theorem (A) if trade is costless such that trade equalizes commodity prices between countries and (B) if countries are not too different" such that both continue to produce both goods after trade, then the price of each factor is equalized across countries.

39 Rybczynski Theorem Assumptions and Intuition Start from FPE, subject to producing both goods: Hold commodity prices constant Hold factor prices constant Hold optimal a ij s constant Changes in endowments can be absorbed through changes in the composition of output rather than changes in factor prices.

The Rybczynski Theorem Holding commodity prices constant, an increase in the endowment of factor j leads to a more than proportion increase in the output of the good using that factor intensively, and to a fall in the output of the other good.

51 Stolper-Samuelson Theorem: Intuition Note that the opening of trade shift production in each country toward the sector which uses intensively the country s abundant factor. The problem is that, at constant factor prices, the expanding sector is going to demand factors in different proportions to those being released by the contracting sector. Relative to the contracting sector, the expanding sector will demand too much" of the abundant factor and too little" of the scarce factor. Constant factor prices will NOT lead to an open to trade equilibrium. Yiqing Xie (Fudan University) Int l Trade - H-O July, / 33

65 Stolper-Samuelson Theorem: Policy Implication There will be political fights over changes in trade policy. While free trade results in aggregate gains in income, those gains are very unevenly distributed. Some factor owners generally lose. This is in turn the source of considerable political controversy over protection and liberalization A country s scarce factors may lose following trade liberalization. There is a sense in which American unskilled workers compete against workers in the developing world. However, the policy options are not just free trade versus restricted trade, but possibly include free trade versus various measures to help adversely affected workers (education, training, relocation assistance). Yiqing Xie (Fudan University) Int l Trade - H-O July, / 33
66 Summary A country s comparative advantage, production and trade are determined by underlying factor endowments intersected with technologies. Relative factor endowments across countries + Relative factor intensities across industries Comparative advantage Changing the underlying factor endowment can have very biased effects on production and trade (Rybczynski). Higher savings rates and capital formation in Asia naturally lead to a shift in capital intensive manufacturing toward Asia. While free trade results in aggregate gains in income, those gains are very unevenly distributed. Some factor owners generally lose (Stolper-Samuelson).
